ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 9, 2000

HTE Enterprise Development Teams Now Developing

Browser-Enabled Applications

Jacada Ltd. (NASDAQ: JCDA), a leading provider of e-business infrastructure software, announced today that HTE, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTEI), has licensed Jacada Innovator to browser-enable HTE's leading public-sector application portfolio, and by doing so, has reinvested in their highly skilled team of application developers. Jacada Innovator is the first product to address the IT labor shortage by enabling COBOL and RPG developers to rapidly and easily develop browser-enabled applications with minimal initial training.

HTE is a major software and services company, serving more than 1,600 customers worldwide in the government, utilities, education, and public safety and justice markets. The HTE Enterprise Suite of more than 50 applications provides the broadest and most integrated set of functionality available in the public-sector market. For HTE, one key to maintaining their leadership position is the continuous modernization of HTE's application suite.

Jacada Innovator will allow HTE to meet this demand by enabling their various RPG development teams to rapidly deliver browser-enabled applications. Jacada Innovator allows HTE to accelerate its delivery of these solutions by utilizing existing resources and skills and by leveraging the deep functionality provided in the company's industry leading applications.

"We have some of the most talented RPG programmers in the world," said Joe Loughry III, president and CEO of HTE. "We needed a way to leverage the hundreds of man-years of application development experience, while enabling these developers to more easily build state-of-the-art software applications. Jacada Innovator is the only technology we know of that can rapidly browser-enable our extensive application portfolio, while enabling our developers to build a new user interface with very little training."

Jacada Innovator addresses a critical problem within the application development community. Most professional application developers building and maintaining today's enterprise applications do not possess the skills to build browser-enabled applications. Jacada Innovator bridges this skills gap for the largest segment of the application development market. There are more than three million COBOL and RPG developers worldwide. By comparison, there are only 500,000 professional Java developers capable of developing enterprise-scale applications, according to Gartner. Jacada Innovator gives those three million COBOL and RPG developers the ability to rapidly develop browser-enabled applications.

"HTE has addressed a critical issue challenging many independent software vendors (ISV) and IT shops today," said Mike Potts, president of Jacada. "The majority of the true enterprise application developers do not currently have the experience or skills required to deliver browser-enabled applications. Jacada Innovator will enable HTE to deliver the most competitive set of browser-enabled public-sector applications on the market, while leveraging their existing talent pool and experience."
